Have any ideas for me? I've flashed straight after Odin back to stock and master clear. This is also a fresh download of the ROM today. Any radio settings that need to be changed? I know what the abbreviation is but I can't think of it right now.

any chances to see fixed/updated version of Andromeda3?
[Captivate Android Development] lownox:
Adam... congrats on the XDA Front Page mention. :D
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Maybe in a bit. Whenever I build a new version, it goes here. This is more up to date. http://files.teamkomin.com/Andromeda/AndromedaRepo.zip
[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
What's different from the current version?
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Its a development version. You can try it at your own risk. Like I said. I build them from time to time. You can see the change logs on the svn website at the top.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Is this a wipe-install?
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Yes. It installs the same as the current release of Andromeda3. Im not giving you any gaurantees that its fully debugged.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
I'd like to point out that the only "Bug Fix" we've done since the release of Andromeda3 is remove duplicate ringtones. It was thoroughly debugged prior to release, however a binary file was accidentally committed minutes before release which caused a regression of issue 10, it was addressed promptly. Here is our issues list We released after fixing issue 12:

http://code.google.com/p/teamkomin/...+Priority+Milestone+Owner+Summary&cells=tiles

With the exception of removal of duplicate ringtones, all changes to Andromeda3 since it's release have been upgrades.
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
What about the camera.apk? I don't care about geotagging and all of that, but in Andromeda 1.1-1.2 when I long press the power button it would autofocus and then take the picture once letting off. Now it starts to but it brings up the power menu in the middle of it. Sorry if this has already been addressed but when I searched for it all I saw was stuff about the geotagging and saving to the external sd card.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Auto focus is automatic unless you select a target. The power button is for taking pictures.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
actually, the prior releases DID have powerbutton autofocus. when you held the button down, it would autofocus and release to take the pic....

flashed with heimdall

I have flashed this twice now successfully using Heimdall. First time was on top of a rooted Stock Froyo. The second was on top of itself.

The package did not install all the apps listed in the OP (maybe it wasn't supposed to)

SGSTools

clockworkmod

Titanium Backup

Simi Clock

BLN Control

BattStatt

TAJM

TKVoodoo control

and others...

I don't use most of those things and if I did lots of them are in the Market anyway. The reason I flashed a second time was because I noticed these apps missing however the rom ran great without them. After second install it still runs great.

I'm not sure if this is usefull information but when I am in recovery and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache" prior to selecting Yes it shows a warning

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
(file exists)

Also, this build has the duplicate ring tone issue as well.

Over all a great rom. Runs smooth and has good battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
i havent found a way to get heimdall to flash stuff to the /data partition, it only flashes /system as of now....thats why those apps are not included. i will work on it again this weekend hopefully.
[Captivate Android Development] pietro_spina:
Thanks,

The ones I use are in my TiBackup anyway... and now that you mention it I'm not sure there is a way to do that via Heimdall. Probably better to just mention it in the notes and offer an update.zip if that's a possible solution...
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
That was the idea to draft up a cwm zip. I will provide an updated version this weekend

AdamOutler, video calls still in repo build?
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
My captivate has NEVER autofocused. Not on stock ROMs nor any of the custom ROMs I've tried. When I press the button to take a picture whether its the on screen one or the power button, it just snaps the photo without autofocusing. And yes, I have it set to autofocus. I remember on my Droid Incredible it would continuously autofocus and it was great. That was a disappointment when I got this phone. That's why I loved the long press focus so much.

Do you think I could just replace this camera.apk from older Andromeda builds?

So is it possible to flash this over cm7, through cwm.

Pretty sure coming off CM7 is one of those few instances you need to flash back to stock before flashing this. You should be able to confirm this in the CM7 thread also.

It's tap to focus irrc.

I don't think it has that, due to the phone not having a native physical camera button.

Sent from my Captivate. Andromeda 3, Onix 2.0.5 @ 1.2Ghz
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
Yeah, I know it has the tap to focus, but that isn't the autofocus I was looking for. That's one thing HTC could get right on their cameras, even my old HTC Fuze would autofocus at the touch of the capacitive button on the bottom. I don't know what "irrc" means though. lol. The long press of the power button was the best alternative in my opinion. I'm going to try the old camera.apk and see if that'll work. I'll report back on what I find out.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
I believe the button action is tied to the android.policy.jar, so you would need camera apk and the jar file

Thnx for the reply 1tontomato. Yea I'm at work though and was hoping to do it from my phone. :( of well
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
The camera.apk from 1.2 FCs as soon as you try to open it, so that settles that.

EDIT: Never mind!! Dumb*** noob mistake. Instead of putting the camera.apk in the system/app folder I just had it on my sd card and installed the apk like any other. It installed fine but still didn't work properly, after uninstalling that and putting the apk directly into the system/app it works perfectly! Now I am able to hold down the power button to make the camera autofocus and takes the picture when released. Again, this was just taken out of the Andromeda 1.2 ROM if anyone else wants this feature back.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
You will need to wipe data as it is a different app. You can use Titanium for that.
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
I actually didn't. I was editing my post as you posted.

Hi guys, I am still loving this rom but suddenly I am having lots of networking issues.

For one, Wifi is buggy. Sometimes i turn it on and it never turns on.

Also my signal goes to zero at work now and i've always had 5 bars. It's not the only place I am seeing this issue.

Can anyone suggest a better modem? I'm in northern virginia.

Also, gps is not the best I've seen. I can get a lock in 5 seconds in my house with other roms, and I can't get one period with this one. The thing I really like about this is the mattedblues theme.

I downloaded and flashed Andromeda late last night. It appeared to flash fine and all was well until I hit Messaging to go into my texts. Force close. Happened every time. In the brief time I had it on my phone everything else I went into worked but not texts, which is an extremely important part for me and I couldn't open the (stock) messaging app at all. Any ideas??

*facepalm*

iirc (If I Recall Correctly). lol typo there.

I didn't know that. lol.

it does, but then the phone options menu pops up lol.
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
Lol, well that popup is what bothered me. But I did find out that if you take the camera.apk from 1.2 and replace the one in 3 with it through adb then it fixes it. My camera works great now!

And don't worry about the typo, I still would have asked what iirc is too. Lol.

Well I did think of that and your post makes me think that is probably the case but...what would it have been? I flashed back to the last ROM I was using (sig) and restored and all was well. I don't consider myself a professional flasher (publicly or on my phone ;) ) so any help would be appreciated. I was looking forward to seeing how much better the battery life would be on Andromeda so if you, or someone, can give me some guidance on what not to restore from TiBu I'd appreciate it.
[Captivate Android Development] rwells813:
Hey guys after I flashed Andromeda3 the phone says I have no service. ANY 1 else? I tried looking for the network files to restore and see if that would work but couldnt find anything such. I also changed my APN back the way it should be. Thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I enabled/disabled airplane mode, activated/diactivated data mode and no such luck. phone status is unknown network and out of service and disconected and not roaming. I am in the coverage area to. Sim card reads as it shows my mobile number and im able to add/remove contacts still. But the phone seems not to even try to connect to the network ( att ) I tried the sim in another phone and it worked ok. Seems ive lost certain files possible. Might try different modem as well if needed. Thanks again for the quick reply. NOTE: Im Still loving the rom and the support that comes with it. You guys are great and I will def. Be supporting this.

Ok guys I got the sim to work again, I switched modems and it didnt work. But then I put the jk4 back on and voila service started working again ( wierd ) allll is good and I'm up and running.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
try a couple of things:

enable airplane mode, then disable it

or

hold down the power button until the menu comes up and make sure the data mode is activated

I've gotten so out of touch using andromeda. Not having to keep up with the latest going on in dev. Plus getting a nook didn't help. The dev on that is awesome. Learning so much over there. Like how to make a boot sd, writing to emmc, the make up of a kernal and what it does, dual booting a mobile device, what to look for in real benchmarks of sd cards. For 250, you can't go wrong with getting a nook. I got it to have an ereader, but now do so much more.

Read a later post of yours, version 3 is for 2.3. I'm in the same boat as adam about gb. When the kinks get worked out, then I'll update.

I was also having this problem with jk4, i switched to jl2 and have had less problems. Like today I tried to put it in airplane mode and nothing happened. it said airplane mode was enabled but the indicator still said i was on edge. i was even browsing pages after that. Weird stuff in this rom man...

I had to reboot to get it to start working.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Id say its weird stuff on your phone. I've never had such a problem. You may have restored some funny stuff or an app modified your settings. I run this ROM on mine, my wife's and two of my friends phones in its original unmodified state. The only problems I've seen are in edge network coverage areas where the phone cannot get internet. Its the network.

I know how to use CWM, but have never seen it referenced as CWM2, or 3. I had no idea what version came on Andromeda, or if I need to install a different version now before installing a CWM Zip, or if I have to pay attention to versions on that now.

Never had I seen anyone say it is a CWM2 zip. Always CWM. And yes, I read a lot on the forum, but don't follow CWM, as I find that doing backups and restores with CWM to be a bit inconsistent, unless you be absolutely sure you already have the same versions of kernel installed when restoring a complete backup. I don't even install it via Rom Manager any more.

Do you lose the ability to turn off geotagging with that version? What about being able to select where pics are stored?
[Captivate Android Development] creepyncrawly:
You can store photos on phone or external. I don't see any options about geotagging. I never pay attention to that, so I don't know where to look to see if geotagging is on of off.

Edit: OK. Did a little study and testing. Geotagging is turned on, but it only records data in the exif info if the gps is on and has a location. If gps is off, it records zeros for longitude, latitude, and altitude. But I'm pretty sure there is no way to turn geotagging on and off in the camera settings.
[Captivate Android Development] shadvich:
So I'm a fairly light user, but I always have wifi/3G on and sync enabled, and I get pretty good battery life. I've found that I9000XXJVO gives me the best battery life, but I've also had very good results with i9088znkp1. KP1 gives me comparable (little less) battery life, but better signal strength (maryland). Running the older revision or the ursa minor kernel too. Thanks for the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
I'd rather be able to turn off geotagging, which the current camera.apk allows.

Well, had some time tonight so I decided to reflash Andromeda 3 and everything seems OK this time.

I have to agree with Miami_son, GB roms are in development stage and are updated weekly without full fuctionability.

I am for progress and improvement but I want my phone to work completely when I use it.

Battery Life...

OK, I'm sure it's been asked before but I want to know what kind of battery life you people are getting. I'm not sure if it's my battery or some app I have installed but it seems my battery doesn't last a day.

I can take it off the charger at home about 7:45am and head to work...on some days, with moderate use (not calls but texts, checking Facebook and Twitter, and push email via exchange), I have looked at it at noon and it would be in the 40% range. Is this really normal?

I've seen screenshots in some threads on here where it shows the phone has been unplugged for 1 day 14 hrs and something and still has 40% battery charge left. Do they just have nothing running on the phone or what? I have some widgets (pure calendar, fancy widget pro, couple of switch pro widgets) and my exchange email on push notification but...would that really kill my battery that quickly?

If you all could post your real-world experience / results I would appreciate it. Screenshots are great but just replying with info is appreciated just as much.

Battery-extending advice would also be welcomed! :)

Thanks in advance...!
[Captivate Android Development] billlapinga:
I constantly use my task manager to shut down programs running in the background or when I'm finished using a app or program I shut it down. Also if your not using your wifi or gps, turn them off also until needed. They use power to seek out available networks or satelites which is always.

And I keep the display brightnest all the way down unless I go outside in the sunlight. Doing these tasks, I can get about 1 1/2 to 2 days use out of a fully charged battery. But only calls, text and light web use.

If I do a lot of web searching and play music and what such, I'll get a day out of the battery. But I do watch the meter and when the battery drops to around 25 - 30 percent, I just use it for calls and text only and it will hold out till I get home to charge.

I have used the phone constantly (3 to 4 hours) playing games or web use and the battery will drop by half. This is the price we pay for a slim beautiful phone.

Samsung can only fit a battery so big before they have to make it thicker. I know I like the size of my captivate but I'm looking forward to new Samsung infuse. Got to check on battery size in it.

I hope this will help you.

[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
Thank you and, yes, it does help. I should've mentioned that I also turn off wifi when I'm away from any access points and gps is never on. After I finish using an app I also go into the task manager and 'end' it so that it is no longer running. My brightness is set to about 5-7% constantly. I have bluetooth off unless I'm using it.

It just seems odd to me that I see some people posting screenshots and the like of 1.5 days since unplugged and still have a decent amount of battery left when I can't get near that. I know the batteries are small due to the thinness of the device but I still wonder if my battery is weaker or something than others'.

Again, thanks for your input and I'd welcome more input from others, too.
[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
Just know that those people that post LONG time useage with a single charge don't use their phone much, if at all. I'm good if I just use it for calls/texts, but open up WWF, jewel lust, check the weather often, or surf around and it drops like a rock. For me, this is a multimedia phone and should be used as such. If I just wanted to call and text, i'd get me a cheap ass phone that ONLY does those things. That way I could last for days on a single charge. You should be able to get a full day at work with moderate to heavy usage. Anything more than that is considered great.
